Clip List

Clip List

The Clip List displays all images and clips associated with a study and provides tools to:

• Navigate between clips
• Preview clips before opening them
• Organise clips by series or view
• Review clip metadata
• Adjust the Clip List size

These tools help users efficiently review studies and locate relevant images during reporting, measurement, and quality assurance workflows.

1. Open the Study Viewer.
2. Locate the divider on the left edge of the Clip List.
3. Select and drag the divider:
   • Left to expand the Clip List and display more thumbnails
   • Right to reduce the Clip List size
4. Release the divider to retain the new layout.

Preview Clips

Hover over a clip thumbnail to preview the clip without opening it in the Cine View.

Additional clip information is also displayed in the tooltip, including:

• Study date and time
• Date and time the clip was received by HeartLab
• SOP Instance UID
• DICOM file size (KB)

Group by View

Groups clips according to their echocardiography view classification.

This view is useful when:
